Coving Fitter Stromness

Exactly What is Coving? - Coving is a moulded product product which can be made out of plaster core, solid wood, high density polystyrene, gyproc, MDF, PVC, polyurethane, polyethylene, plastic or duropolymer, and is used to soften the corners between ceilings and walls. Though mainly used on the inside of a structure, coving can also be used on the outside to improve the appearance of eaves for instance. The profile of coving can vary from quite simple quadrant patterns to rather complex, multi-faceted versions. Typically available to purchase in straight lengths of 2 metres or so, some coving ranges include pre-cut angles and corners to make life easier for the coving fitter.
